Is that Wapsi Park along US 6? Every time I drove past that park I thought to myself, looks like a good place for a disc golf course. From the aerial view on Mapquest it looks like there's a nice piece of land for a course, mix of wooded and open, with a large creek.

Yes, Wapsi park. They originally thought they'd use both sides of the creek so I designed a very nice 18 hole course, but they only wanted to do 9. Then I didn't hear from them for a while and just within the last few weeks heard that they'd like to buy baskets. Ruben said they would lay something out on the west side of the creek. It's a nicely maintained area, but the other side has much more character. Maybe a future there, maybe not.

I can't make it on the 21st. But I'm going out there tonight and I'll see if I can make a small dent in the flood debris on Hole 4. That hole is gonna take a lot of work. I'll try to start a pile somewhere out of the way of the golf but accessible by a truck in case it needs to be moved out later.

Greg -- save your strength. All of the debris will going to hauled out by truck to a burn pile (burn pile location unknown as of yet). Creating a pile on hole 4 is just going to have to be moved again.

I realize it rained last night, and it rained a lot. That means Kevin won't be driving his truck/trailer on the course to pick up flood debris that is really bad on holes 4-5.

However, I have quite the list (in the last post) of things that could be done besides driving on the course.

I put up a sign at Turkey yesterday announcing a worknight tonight at 5:45 at Sugar. I am still going to be at sugar tonight in case random people show up to help. We can tackle other things on the list, so please bring loppers, chainsaws, weedeaters, a grinder for the directional arrows, and work gloves.

Since we're not doing the major flood debris cleanup, i'm not going to call people and beg them to come and help. I hope as many people show up that can, we have a lot of other stuff to do, and I hope we can have a very productive worknight!!!

Mark R, Luke S, Pat C, Brad M, Steve C, Kate P, Greg, Brent K, Kevin S and I really cleaned up #4's fairway making burn piles for the Corps to burn when they're ready. We also cleaned up #15's pile by the B placement and got a lot of autumn olive out of the nice prairie grasses.

We really thought #4 was going to take all night, but thanks to the people who showed up early, we got that task finished and could move on to other projects.

As far as next monday for a worknight, I don't plan on setting up anything because I will be getting ready for Brent, Kevin, Rimmy and my road trip. If anyone feels inclined, i do have two nice posts above of things that could be done, but I think we got the most pressing issue taken care of last night in cleaning up #4 at sugar.

Monday the 4th, 11th and 18th of August I will be unable to set up worknights, so I guess let's plan on the next big night to be Monday August 25th.

I don't get board notifications or I would have shown up to work at this work night...next time send out an email to The List. Looks like you had enough folks there to do some damage though (I stopped out to play not knowing you were there working, but took off almost immediately because I had my dogs with me and they're nuts.)
